. So many GRcadians seem to be in Germany nowdays. Octoroc, Hyperion and now Cora. Bratwurst + Stuff .

I'm just on holiday - this really is a fantastic city though, I'd be quite happy to live here.

If you don't want to buy my copy of ikaruga you could just say so instead of leaving the country

Anywho, my barely-retro collection of 360 racing games is approaching a satisfactory level of completeness according to my restrictive criteria, not including stuff i have on pc, xbone back compatibility or is unnecessary/a load of shite. I might do one of those collection photo things which are so popular in these parts at some point too.

When I was in Canada recently I found a nice little gaming café where you could sit and play on a Wii U, Xbox, 360, PS2, PS4, PS1, Wii, SNES, NES, Mega Drive, N64 or a PC while you drank your coffee. They had a cabinet of games that you could help yourself to, nice seats/open space, and from the looks of it little tournaments and league tables and such. Also seemed like they ran gaming nights, D&D nights, and sold the odd bit of merchandise, like Zelda keyrings and Mario figures, that kind of thing. Nice little place, would definitely go regularly if I lived nearby.

Also, if you guys are on the lookout for controllers, figures, merchandise etc, where do you tend to look - eBay/Amazon marketplace, or do you have specific websites you go to?
